Maggette Has Second Thoughts About Not Signing With Spurs

[Kori Ellis]

Many folks talk about taking less money to win, but as far as I've seen only Manu, Tony and Tim have actually followed through on it (can you name any other NBA players who have?).

Manu didn't take less money. He wasn't made an offer by Denver. Tony didn't take less money.

Tim and Bruce took less money. Barry took less money.

Its pretty damn re ed to say that only Spurs take less money to win. If you don't know of other players doing it its probably because you don't follow other teams. Arenas just did it in the off season, just to name one..

Exactly. They don't have to live in real life. The rest of us do.

They put themselves through alot for our entertainment... I feel some pro athletes make way too much money ... but it is a very stressful, physically, mentally demanding business, where you have to deal with public scrutiny all the time

Magette :

9 years in NBA, one playoffs appearence (12 games). And probably no postseason this year.

But Eh ! he got the money. Woohoo !
